Is it Tea Time?

It's a NICE cartoon...

The so-called Tea Party is apparently fed up with the republicans selling out to big corporations and have a victory on their hands.

Cantor was no Reagan. We handed Reagan a petition requesting his* (Reagan's) impeachment at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds up at Chico State back in 1969. He trashed California's educational system before moving on to trash even bigger things (like your future).

The Reagan Years can be summed up in two terms:
increased deficit spending
business failures

But what would you expect? Reagan was a sell-out to Corporate America - GE. During the Reagan presidency, GE exported tens-of-thousands of jobs to China!

The Tea Party Motto: "Fool me 100 times, shame on you. Fool me 200 times and I just might start to wake up!"

The Tea Party is waking up, methinks...

*The lower case "h" in his indicates that Reagan was no god.

But some right wingnuts are delusional or outright insane.

The Tropism of a Genetically-Encoded FOP?

I will not restate the NATURE/NURTURE debate.

Hypothetically, lets say Elliot was a fop.

If NATURE had anything to do with it, he would have come from a lineage of fops.

Flip a coin.

My guess is that poor Elliot was a tropism of a fopism.

And, he had delusions of grandeur.
He saw girls dating men who were unworthy of their affection.

"How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like Neighbors and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should be full of “sex and fun and pleasure”? How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, “It’s not fair”?"

Perhaps Elliot was an undiagnosed schizophrenic.
We will never know.

I would say the SAME [undiagnosed schizophrenia] is true for many Tea Partiers. They think assistance is going to those who are unworthy of assistance!

"More telling still, almost all Tea Partiers favor generous social benefits for Americans who "earn" them; yet in an era of rising federal deficits, they are very concerned about being stuck with the tax tab to pay for "unearned" entitlements handed out to unworthy categories of people." - source

A question of motives...

It hardly matters...

if it's a for profit prison for youth or for $$$ adults or

a for prophet high school.

Facts only work well IN CONTEXT. FAUX Snews , for example, could not identify context even if it was firmly attached to a mop handle that was even more firmly shoved up their...

Your best interests are not even a distant second where corporations are concerned.

The world of conservative-think is reduced to "What will YOU do for ME?" and not "How can I provide beneficial help to you?"

In such a world, it is better to do NOTHING.

first, a definition:

Now, an improved definition (adding granularity)

And, getting to the HEART of the matter - inanity:

Buddhism celebrates 'emptiness,' but not as a persistent vegetative state. Even though I might love carrots doesn't mean that I want to BE one.

Our friends on the right, however, sometimes display the behavior of a salient being trapped in a moebius loop of inanity.

Projected Universe

A team of physicists has provided some of the clearest evidence yet that our Universe could be just one big projection.

“They have numerically confirmed, perhaps for the first time, something we were fairly sure had to be true, but was still a conjecture — namely that the thermodynamics of certain black holes can be reproduced from a lower-dimensional universe,” says Leonard Susskind, a theoretical physicist at Stanford University in California who was among the first theoreticians to explore the idea of holographic universes.

A long-winded explanation (for those who so desire the same) is to be found HERE.

And, there is no reason that the universe could not be a toroidal projection - with neither beginning nor end.
